Morrissey has accused a police officer in Rome of threatening him in the street, saying he “believed [the officer] was about to shoot me,” according to a Facebook post by Morrissey’s nephew and photographer, Sam Esty Rayner. The post, which includes a paragraph-long quote attributed to Morrissey, alleges that the incident took place when the officer demanded his papers outside a Nike store last night. A crowd of onlookers gathered to record footage of the “obviously insane” officer, according to Morrissey. “This was a deliberate act of terror,” Morrissey says. He adds that he “had not broken the law or acted suspiciously”: “I believe he recognized me and wanted to frighten me. I did not back down even though I believed he was about to shoot me. I urge people to beware of this dangerously aggressive Officer. He might kill you.” Read the post below.
